Good stewardship of taxpayer dollars and the public trust requires state government to operate as efficiently as possible. Well-managed personnel, information technology, and purchasing systems are essential elements of the foundation of any well-functioning organization.
What is state government’s role?
Washington state manages its people and resources to maximize the efficiency and effectiveness of government operations at a minimum cost, and to address other goals such as protecting the environment, promoting diversity, and preventing fraud.
What do we measure?
We measure four main areas to evaluate government efficiency:
- Human Resources (Example: Turnover in the state workforce)
- Information Technology (Example: Number of major IT projects on time and on budget)
- Purchasing (Example: Use of cost-saving master contracts)
- Risk Management & Employee Safety (Example: Employee injury and illness rates)
